Looking forward to how Ole, Carrick and go game plan for this one. On talent alone, our midfield needs to dominate for us to stand a chance because their attack and defense are elite.
We were good in the first half you are right. We were playing much more on the front foot and I thought here we go.As crazy as it sounds, we should never have lost that game, specially after the very good first half.
Apart from Jones who I would replace with Smalling (provided he is fit), this is clearly our best and most consistent first 11.De Gea
Young Lindelof Jones Shaw
Matic
Herrera Pogba
Lingard Rashford Martial
Only two places in team I can see being in question (if Smalling is still out) are Young and Martial but I don't think the other attackers have put in a clear case to be starting yet.
We're not expecting him to win all of those games or at least I'm not. We just want to see if he can compete against the best teams whilst continuing to play attacking football. That will be good enough for me.Not to single you out (there are a lot of people in the other Ole threads who are waiting to judge Ole based on this game and the Liverpool games), but don't you think it's harsh to form any basis based on this game or the Liverpool game? Those two are top 3 teams in the country with managers who have been in the position for 3-4 years and have got their own squads and style of play fully ingrained. Will it be not a disservice to pass a judgement on Ole based on how we do in those two games?
Come on Poch, you don't want to manage a EL team next season. Do the right thing please.
Not over Young he won'tOur defence will finally get exposed. It only needs a clinical attacking unit to score easily. Jones is a walking disaster. Ddg not in form. Valencia might play. God help us
We don't have a choice,sitting back like last season will get us killedWill be a very hard game, hopefully we get something out of it somehow. But win/lose or draw i hope we attack them and not sit back.
You don’t compete for anything, stop this nonsense. And Son won’t do anything.Your advantage in this game is the fact that we have a tough League Cup SF 1st leg against Chelsea beforehand, which is what happens when competing on 4 different fronts.
This will be Son's last game before he departs for the Asian Cup, so I'm hoping he wants go out with a bang.

Poch doesnt care one bit about League cup so it's all good for you guys. You can play your youngsters vs Chelsea. And yeah I guess it's hard to fight on all 4 fronts, United is new to that sort of thing.Your advantage in this game is the fact that we have a tough League Cup SF 1st leg against Chelsea beforehand, which is what happens when competing on 4 different fronts.

That could have happened anyway. We might actually be more competitive now.I'm worried. Think we could get a pasting.
Would be disappointing.could see Lukaku starting taking Lingard's place
Everyone in the world already knows how poor our defenders are. Not gonna be a surprise if/when they score, hopefully De Gea has a Brilliant game.Agree with what others have said here, spurs will finally show how poor our backline is. I also feel their defenders will easily nullify martial.
Finally? They did that at Old Trafford earlier in the season.Agree with what others have said here, spurs will finally show how poor our backline is. I also feel their defenders will easily nullify martial.
Apparently been given permission to join up with the squad later.South Korea plays against the Philippines on Monday, how is Son supposed to be available for this?
I meant since Ole took overFinally? They did that at Old Trafford earlier in the season.
So how do you (and other Spurs fans) think your starting 11 will look?Your advantage in this game is the fact that we have a tough League Cup SF 1st leg against Chelsea beforehand, which is what happens when competing on 4 different fronts.

Difficult to say, pending injury updates. But Dembele, Vertonghen and Lamela have all returned to full training, so if all are fit for this match then:So how do you (and other Spurs fans) think your starting 11 will look?
